Mark 10
1 Then he arose and came into the confines of Judea, through the country upon the Jordan. Again multitudes resorted to him; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.
And having risen from there, He comes to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again multitudes come together to Him, and as He had been accustomed, again He was teaching them.
2 And some Pharisees came, who, to try him, asked him, Is it lawful for the husband to divorce his wife?
And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned Him if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting Him,
3 He answering, said to them, What precept has Moses given you on this subject?
and He answering said to them, “What did Moses command you?”
4 They replied, Moses has permitted us to write her a bill of divorcement, and dismiss her.
And they said, “Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.”
5 Jesus answering, said to them, Because of your untractable disposition, Moses gave you this permission.
And Jesus answering said to them, “For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,
6 But from the beginning, at the creation, God made them a male and a female.
but from the beginning of the creation God made them a male and a female;
7 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall adhere to his wife,
on this account will a man leave his father and mother, and will cleave to his wife,
8 and they two shall be one flesh. They are, therefore, not longer two, but one flesh.
and they will be—the two—for one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh;
9 What then God has conjoined, let no man separate.
what God therefore joined together, do not let man separate.”
10 And, in the house, his disciples asked him anew concerning this matter.
And in the house His disciples again questioned Him of the same thing,
11 He said to them, Whosoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her;
and He says to them, “Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, commits adultery against her;
12 and if a woman divorce her husband, and marry another, she commits adultery.
and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she commits adultery.”
13 Then they brought children to him, that he might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
And they were bringing to Him children that He might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them,
14 Jesus perceiving this, was offended, and said, Allow the children to come to me, do not hinder them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and He said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the Kingdom of God;
15 Indeed, I say to you, whosoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall never enter it.
truly I say to you, whoever may not receive the Kingdom of God as a child—he may not enter into it”;
16 Then taking them up in his arms, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
and having taken them in His arms, having put [His] hands on them, He was blessing them.
17 As he went out into the road, one came running to him, who, kneeling, asked him, Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
And as He is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to Him, was questioning Him, “Good Teacher, what may I do that I may inherit continuous life?” (aiōnios g166)
18 Jesus answered, Why do you call me good? God alone is good.
And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good except one—God;
19 Do you know the commandments? Do not commit adultery; do not commit murder; do not steal; do not give false testimony; do no injury; honor your father and mother.
you have known the commands: You may not commit adultery, You may not murder, You may not steal, You may not bear false witness, You may not defraud, Honor your father and mother.”
20 The other replied, Rabbi, I have observed all these from my childhood.
And he answering said to Him, “Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.”
21 Jesus, looking upon him, loved him, and said to him, In one thing, nevertheless, you are deficient. Go, sell all that you have, and give the price to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come, and follow me, carrying the cross.
And Jesus having looked on him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: go away, whatever you have—sell, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven, and come, follow Me, having taken up the cross.”
22 But he was troubled at this answer, and went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
And he—gloomy at the word—went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.
23 Then Jesus looking around him, said to his disciples, How difficult it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
And Jesus having looked around, says to His disciples, “How hardly will they who have riches enter into the Kingdom of God!”
24 The disciples were astonished at his words; but Jesus resuming the discourse, said, Children, how difficult is it for them, who confide in wealth, to enter the kingdom of God!
And the disciples were astonished at His words, and Jesus again answering says to them, “Children, how hard it is to those trusting on riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!
25 It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
It is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
26 At this they were still more amazed, and said one to another, Who then can be saved?
And they were astonished beyond measure, saying to themselves, “And who is able to be saved?”
27 Jesus looking upon them, said, To men it is impossible, but not to God; for to God all things are possible.
And Jesus, having looked on them, says, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”
28 Then Peter took occasion to say, As for us, we have forsaken all, and followed you.
And Peter began to say to Him, “Behold, we left all, and we followed You.”
29 Jesus answering, said, Indeed, I say to you, there is none who shall have forsaken his his house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, for my sake and the gospel's;
And Jesus answering said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for My sake, and for the good news’,
31 But many shall be first, who are last, and last, who are first.
and many first will be last, and the last first.”
32 As they were on the road to Jerusalem, Jesus walking before them, a panic seized them, and they followed him with terror. Then taking the twelve aside, he told them again what would befall him.
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And having again taken the Twelve, He began to tell them the things about to happen to Him:
33 Behold, says he, we are going to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, who will condemn him to die, and deliver him to the Gentiles,
“Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and will deliver Him to the nations,
34 who will mock him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and kill him; but the third day he shall rise again.
and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him, and the third day He will rise again.”
35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, accosted him, saying, Rabbi, we beg you would grant us what we purpose to ask.
And there come near to Him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, “Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask for ourselves, You may do for us”;
36 He said to them, what would you have me grant you?
and He said to them, “What do you wish Me to do for you?”
37 They answered, That when you shall have attained your glory, one of us may sit at your right hand, and the other at your left.
And they said to Him, “Grant to us that, one on Your right hand and one on Your left, we may sit in Your glory”;
38 Jesus replied, You know not what you ask. Can you drink such a cup as I am to drink; and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo?
and Jesus said to them, “You have not known what you ask; are you able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the immersion that I am immersed with—to be immersed?”
39 They answered, We can. Jesus said to them, You shall indeed drink such a cup, as I am to drink, and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo;
And they said to Him, “We are able”; and Jesus said to them, “Of the cup indeed that I drink of, you will drink, and with the immersion that I am immersed with, you will be immersed;
40 but to sit at my right hand, and left, I can not give, unless to those for whom it is appointed.
but to sit on My right and on My left is not Mine to give, but—to those for whom it has been prepared.”
41 The ten hearing this, conceived indignation against James and John.
And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John,
42 But Jesus having called them together, said to them, You know that those who are accounted the princes of the nations, domineer over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them;
but Jesus having called them near, says to them, “You have known that they who are considered to rule the nations exercise lordship over them, and their great ones exercise authority on them;
43 but it must not be so amongst you. On the contrary, whosoever would be great amongst you, shall be your servant;
but not so will it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he will be your minister,
44 and whosoever would be the chief, shall be the slave of all.
and whoever of you may will to become first, he will be servant of all;
45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
for even the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give His life [as] a ransom for many.”
46 Then they came to Jericho. Afterward, as he was departing thence, with his disciples, and a great crowd, blind Bartimeus, son of Timeus, who sat by the way-side begging,
And they come to Jericho, and as He is going forth from Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus—Bartimaeus the blind—was sitting beside the way begging,
47 hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, cried, saying, Jesus Son of David, have pity upon me!
and having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and to say, “The Son of David—Jesus! Deal kindly with me”;
48 Many charged him to be silent, but he cried still the louder, Son of David, have pity upon me!
and many were rebuking him that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, “Son of David, deal kindly with me.”
49 Jesus stopping, ordered them to call him. Accordingly they called the blind man, saying to him, Take courage; arise, he calls you.
And Jesus having stood, He commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, “Take courage, rise, He calls you”;
50 Then throwing down his mantle, he sprang up, and went to Jesus.
and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, came to Jesus.
51 Jesus addressing him, said, What do you wish me to do for you? Rabboni, answered the blind man, to give me my sight.
And answering, Jesus says to him, “What do you will I may do to you?” And the blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may see again”;
52 Jesus said to him, Go; your faith has cured you. Immediately he recovered his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
and Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has saved you”: and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.
